I know this belongs in projects, but it needs attention right NOW!

Every minute that passes, is time that could be used to achieving victory.
And if you think that victory isn't possible, you better think again.

But I'm stuck and need some help.

A new host and a new php programmer is what
we need. The site is www.standandunite.com
(The wordpress that's up there isn't needed... I don't think)

Can you help make this happen?

Hunter

p.s. I have the php script and instruction guide if someone
can set it up and get it working.

Doesn't your host have something that tells you how to upload your php page to the server?

On most servers, just make sure the file is "index.php" and it will be the first page served up.

host installed WordPress. And since the host was NOT a typical setup
(RP supporter instead of hosting account), I don't have normal
access to the server to upload a script or to modify WP... and I
can't get a hold of the RP supporter to get the login info. Plus,
don't think WP is the best program to use anyways.

so, since I don't need WP and I don't have any data/pages/db set
up yet, I figured that starting fresh is easy and necessary. I'll
just switch the DNS server settings.

The site to be installed on is www.standandunite.com
And as I mention above, I don't think we want the WordPress
program... even though a 'comment on this petition' would
be cool.

I can have you hosted in a few minutes.

I've never tried to install a script though, that would take a bit of thought for me,

I need an email address to set up the hosting.

Mark
02-10-2008, 05:59 PM
Okay, I scanned the documentation, you need a database, I have limited databases available, so I'd have to ask for a little compensation
determined by how long you want the website to be active, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year ect so I can cover my costs.

I have the hosting account ready to submit for creation, but if you want it done this minute I need some feedback
in terms of the email address to assign to the account, and what password you want to use.

I'll
just switch the DNS server settings.


I can do it without changing the DNS, I might be able to install the script since it seems easy.

don't you need server access?

JimInNY
02-10-2008, 06:15 PM
If this doesn't work out, I can host it, set you up your own account with cPanel access, and maybe even get your scripts going. Just email me at jim111 at midtel dot net.

No charge. :)

Yeah, I can install that. Piece of cake.

Mark
02-10-2008, 06:15 PM
don't you need server access?

I've got full access to everything. You would too if I set up the account. All I have to do is input a password to use and your email address.

It would be your own hosted website just like anywhere else.

I bought a re-seller account a few months ago to host Ron Paul websites on the cheap for supporters.

I host http://ArabAmericansForRonPaul.com for one site - it uses a database

http://RonPaul.cc is hosted there - most of the sites in my sig are hosted by me. ( a couple still need to be built)

Again, all I have to do is input a couple of things and the site would be live right now.

I 've got the account created - sent you a PM - will put up a test page to see if there's any conflicts with it being hosted through another account.

I'll post the test URL asap.

Mark
02-10-2008, 06:36 PM
There seems to be a conflict with the current hosting account.

I emailed you the new hosting info, but I think whoever is hosting it would have to delete their account first.

When I input the test URL it only shows as "file not found".

Mark
02-10-2008, 06:45 PM
I can't even do a direct cPanel login. I have to go through the master account to get into your account.

I'd say the other person would definitely have to delete the account the site is hosted through now before much more can be done.

I can try to install the script ect, but I don't think it'll work until the old account is deleted.

I've never tried to create an account for a site that's already hosted, so I'm not sure how the process works.

That might be the way to go, I still need to max out for about $1000 worth so I was going to ask for about $2.50 a month to cover my costs
so it wouldn't eat into campaign donation funds. I'm one of those "eating Ramen noodles in order to be able to donate" types. ;)

or just set new dns servers, right?
and if it's deleted, where will the new account be hosted?

I think that would work.

Can you access the account where the domain was registered and change the Nameservers? (DNS)

You might want to check with JimInNY since he said he would do it for free.

I usually do, but I only have 20 total databases available, so when I have to use one I ask for a couple of bucks .

FYI:

Main DNS are:

NS2.DNSPROTECT.COM

Custom are:

ns.theorderofmelchizedek.org

ns2.theorderofmelchizedek.org

It's all set up, just waiting for DNS to propagate.

Mark, if your hosting package uses cPanel, in the master account, you get a list of accounts you're hosting. Next to the domain name is a numeric ip address. If you click on that, you get the home page of the account using it's IP address and username like this: h ttp://208.64.161.207/~example/

you can ftp files up to the site using just the IP as the host name and using the username and password you set up when you created the account.

I was able to get the scripts uploaded, db created, and run the setup script going through master account to access cPanel to create db, and the ip address for ftp.

Thanks Jim, I've got cPanel and I checked the WebHost Manager and under "List accounts" it shows the IP.

It looks like you've got everything under control, I'll just go ahead and delete the account I created for it.

I appreciate all of your help! I'm new at all of this hosting biz, it's kind of "learn as you go and need" for me. :D

Anytime Mark. If I can ever help you out, just give me a shout. :)

I've been at it a little while. I learned a lot from my last host, before he sold me to this one. He was a one man show that I could always reach by IM when I had issues. He was the best. Tis a shame he sold out.

I just use my account for my own sites, and now I have been hosting some RP sites for other people, but that's it.

I am thinking about moving my stuff to host gator. You get a huge amount of disk space and bandwidth for 24.95 a month, a lot more than I get now, that's for sure.

I use Lypha - http://lypha.com/mini_reseller.shtml

It's close to hostgator - I did the MSeller #2 - 6 month plan prepaid - $19.95/month - 15 GB space - 3TB Transfer - It was about $120 upfront -

The Mseller #3 is about like hostgator - it's 29.95/month for 6 months prepaid - 25 GB space - 4TB transfer

However, a free domain is included, and 1 free extra month - so it's about the same as hostgator (http://www.hostgator.com/resellers.shtml) with the bonus domain and month included.

.

Mark
02-10-2008, 10:16 PM
Wow, I just noticed this:

All reseller plans include a free master hosting account with 5 GB of private storage space and 1 TB of free bandwidth which does not count towards above quota. ($100 value)

Apparently I've got more space and transfer than I knew.


And,
my master account cPanel shows 20 available databases - I wonder if all I have to do is ask for more -

I don't see a limit on them on the re-seller page.

I did that with addon Domains or subdomains earlier - and they just increased the limit.

Mark
02-10-2008, 10:29 PM
The reseller page says it has the same features as the regular hosting accounts, and that says unlimited databases - so I guess I do have unlimited.

http://lypha.com/hosting_plans.shtml

Apparently I can delete the "need a database? - will cost a couple of bucks" factor from the equation.

That should prove I'm doing this in a "learn as you go" manner. :D

Okay, now it looks like I've got 20 GB of space and 4TB of Bandwidth for $20/month, and unlimited everything, that's a good deal.

Things are coming a long.
The site is up and the script is installed.
I've been modifying it all day.

Thanks to EVERYONE who has helped and
who continues to help. It'd be hard as hell
to do this without you!

Hunter

p.s. I can still use some good ideas for a
'global seal/logo' that screams
'We the People Stand and Unite' that can
be used as a banner (to replace this 382x127pix (http://www.standandunite.com/phpPetitionTemplate/mm_travel_photo.jpg)) and
an image to replace this 200x92pix image. (http://www.standandunite.com/Admin/Images/logo_phpBB.gif)

Do you have any ideas?
To see where these will go, look at the top www.standandunite.com

ahhh, it's to create petitions :cool:

seriously, a long with the petitions that are
currently underway, there are dozens of
petitions that are waiting to be created that
will unite MILLIONS of individuals.

What we're in need of now is a logo, banner
and/or official seal that will show the 'coming
together of millions of people who love freedom,
liberty, peace and prosperity.

cause i found this on snopes.com (http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/petition/internet.asp)


Internet Petitions

Claim: Signing and circulating online petitions is an effective way of remedying important issues.

Status: False.

Origins: The 2000s have seen the birth of an Internet phenomenon: the e-petition. It offers instant comfort to those outraged by the latest ills of the world through its implicit assurance that affixing their names to a statement decrying a situation and demanding change will make a difference. That assurance is a severely flawed one for a multitude of reasons.

as it's up and running, I'll tell you all about it.

No offense, but there were way to many hoops to get access
and to have a programmer get access and I was spending a lot
of time spinning my wheels and getting nowhere.

Efficiency of time should be top priority for all of us... if we intend
to achieve the future that we really want!

Thanks for everything.
